The hotel is quite new & is situated in a quiet area with a few restaurants close by. A 10 minute walk you will reach Hiriketiya town & beach or the choice of a Tuk Tuk journey is always an option. The family went above & beyond to make us feel welcome & comfortable, the breakfast was varied each day & they showed attention to detail in everything they did. The room was spacious with style & a comfortable bed with a wrap around balcony. The twins were a delight & we enjoyed chatting most mornings & we always felt that they were concerned our stay was both enjoyable & comfortable. A wonderful stay & would certainly return!

The location of the hotel is excellent: close to the Dickwella beach and lots of restaurants but also still very quiet (apart from a few dogs but you literally have that everywhere!). Room was clean, modern, had hot water (!) and a convenient cabinet to put your clothes on. The owner was very kind and gifted you water upon arrival/departure and helped with questions.

Wow, what a nice hidden gem in parardise. Fabulous place to stay, we had the whole villa four our family. The house is gorgeous, amazing downstairs open living are, the pool and the skate ramp were fantastic. Location is also superb, the ideal place to absolutely wind down and relax, and at the same time only 10 minutes from Dickwella and Hiriketiya. Amazing beach just 2 minutes walking from Gaia Soul, and Hiriketiya is an amazing surf spot. Sundina, the neighbour, prepares amazing breakfast, and there are plenty of nice restaurants around within 10 minutes. If you want to try amazing Sri Lankan Curry, go to Juices & Curries in Talalla, other very nice restaurants are Smoke & Bitters and The Verse Colllective in Dickwella. Also the host, Baxter and his wife are such lovely people and we felt really welcome and like home!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Finch in Tangalle. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, stylish, and thoughtfully put together. The property itself is beautifully designed – modern but still very much in harmony with the natural surroundings, which made it feel like a real escape. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and extremely comfortable. The bed was excellent, air conditioning worked perfectly, and the attention to detail (from linens to lighting) really stood out. You can tell a lot of care has gone into creating a high-quality experience. What really made the stay special was the service. The staff were genuinely warm, attentive without being intrusive, and always happy to help with anything – whether it was arranging transport, giving local tips, or just making sure we were comfortable. The location is also ideal – peaceful and tucked away, yet still close enough to explore Tangalle’s beaches and restaurants easily. It felt private and relaxing, which is exactly what we were looking for. Overall, Finch exceeded expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a stylish, quiet, and well-run place to stay in Tangalle, this is it. We would absolutely come back.

Stayed at Serendip for two months while working with WECare, the street dog charity in the area. My room was comfortable and Nisha the caretaker cleaned it every week as well as making breakfast for me every day. She really made sure to look after me during my stay. Had everything I needed - laundry and kitchen were very handy.

The room was great and modern. A bit out of the centre, so quiet but you need to walk or take the bus/tuktuk to eat or go shopping. The host was very nice and helpful. We didnt had the chance to check the beach near by because of the weather but apparently its beautiful. Good wifi and aircon.

I had one of my best stays in Sri Lanka at Secret House Guest House in Dickwella. After traveling for over 3 weeks, this was honestly a standout experience. The family running the guest house is incredible—so warm, kind, and genuinely caring. They go out of their way to make you feel at home, and it really shows in every detail. The property itself is beautiful and peaceful, with well-designed rooms and AC and hot water that actually works properly. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just easy—one of the few places where everything works exactly as it should. They even helped me with my laundry and managed to remove stains from my shirt, which I really appreciated. And a special mention to Ayu the dog, who is absolutely adorable and adds to the whole charm of the place. Overall, this was easily one of my favorite stays in Sri Lanka, and I would recommend it to anyone going to the south coast. I’ll definitely be back

We had an amazing stay! The family is so lovely and caring. They make you feel so welcome right away! They can organize trips and transports for you, so you don’t have to worry about anything. I gotta a pretty bad dog bite and they let a doctor come for me every second day to clean the wound. Really appreciated they effort. Also the breakfast is amazing and the room with the AC was really nice. So when you’re here, don’t hesitate to book this accommodation - it’s perfect :)

100% with all the other comments, the host family is super lovely!! They really took care of me, replying super quickly by text if I had any question. The room and bathroom were extra clean, with so much space and own private garden. Monkeys are coming around the house every morning (they never even tried to steal my breakfast - these are sweet monkeys). The local breakfast was sooo good Everything is pretty much walking distance (about 15-20min walk from the main beach of Hiri - you can have a shortcut through the best restaurant). I didnt need to rent a scooter and ended up walking everywhere in town

Great access to the city centre. Check these pet-friendly hotels in Nilwella and nearby

A hidden gem! If You are looking for tranquility, solitude and amazing, almost, private beach experience away from the crowds Albergo Niwella is Your spot. A 4 room cabana with a beachfront garden at the remote beach, offers an unusual experience of peaceful immersion with nature with little to no outside world interruptions. Rooms are simple but definitely sufficient and most importantly very clean. The host, Jagath, is very kind and hospitable, and always there to cater to the needs of the guests. Rooms come with breakfast which is genuine Sri Lankan cuisine served at the terrace facing the ocean, which only adds up to the already extremely immersive experience.

Truly special place, make sure to book it! The little house is super cozy, very tastefully decorated (which is not so easy to find for an affordable price) and has everything what you might need. The first house in Sri Lanka we stayed in that had a water filter! Truly a lifesaver! The internet was working great, the food provided straight to the house was also amazing given we were busy working. The host is an amazing person helping with anything, be it surfing spot tips, food or transport. To add, you can cook your own meals, the shower space is big and comfortable, with basic amenities provided. There is plenty of furniture inside and outside for a comfortable stay. Thank you for hosting us you did an amazing job, we loved our stay in Cinta. Would come again and recommend our friends!

The location is quiet and close to Blue beach which turned out to be my favorite as well! Had AC in the room and it was really clean. Mahee makes great food but also a lot of options in the area. If you want more hustle and even more option Hirikyteia beach is a 20 min walk

This property was beautiful and situated in a great location. The hosts were very friendly and assisted us whenever needed during our stay. Originally booked for 3 nights but decided to extend to 4 when we arrived as it was perfect! We booked the apartment which was very new and the house that was super spacious and had a lovely veranda for relaxing. The garden was also very nice!

I had a fantastic stay at Kawshan home, from the beggining to the end everything was so lovely, I felt like at home as soon as I stepped their door. The place was very clean and confortable, had a great little restaurant next door where the food is very tasty. I also loved the location, so close to the beach, just few minutes walk. Could not have asked for something more.

For me the location is perfect as I like somewhere more chill, and this was just about a five minute walk into the main town. The couple who own it are very friendly and accommodating. It was always clean, as throughout most of the day there is a cleaner around. The hostel is nicely decorated and lots of outdoor space too. I also got to paint here with the supplies they had, it was really relaxing and if I’m back In Hiriketiya I would 100% come back!
